“Our chicken is hand breaded and freshly prepared in our kitchens all day every day, which is why you can smell our Kentucky Fried Chicken outside of our restaurants. Our Extra Crispy Sunscreen is a fun way to leverage that delicious aroma and let our fans live the Extra Crispy lifestyle for themselves.”

Although KFC Extra Crispy Sunscreen is (somewhat) real, you likely won’t be able to get any for yourself — at least not without paying a hefty price.
